Key sustainability lessons learned The client has a responsibility to

show real leadership to ensure sustainability aims are met.

Ensure a high level of collaboration between all the teams working on the project, including the contractors.

There is a need for low carbon material specification that takes both operational and embodied carbon into account. Structural engineering can have a positive impact on this.

Sustainability outcomes can be achieved through strong leadership and commitment from the team – sustainability doesn’t happen on its own, but needs the right knowledge, rigour and perseverance.

Key sustainability lessons learned The need for strong leadership

and a new, thoughtful and sustainable approach to design and construction.

Don’t use a generic code to drive design.

Regular site inspections and reporting are key to the success of the project.

Thinking outside of the box when it comes to sustainability is highly effective – it should not be just about ‘eco bling’.

they can offer advice and feed into design with knowledge of technology available in the future.

Communication is key to getting all operatives on board with sustainability. Incentives are useful.

Make sustainability visible and engaging and articulate the value wherever possible so it drills down to every decision making process.

Key sustainability lessons learned Agree the apartment sizes early on.

“Not to build at all may be more truly sustainable than even the most sustainable forms of construction”

Try to avoid abortive work. There were some cases where elements were specified or installed incorrectly, some products were not certified correctly and these areas needed to be redone.

Suppliers and manufacturers should be involved in the very early planning stages of similar construction projects so that

Take into account the environmental and social impacts of the venue from the outset so that they can be ‘designed out’.

Agree a clear, simple strategy for sustainability and communicate it to everyone involved – clarify their part to play in the process.

It’s not the specialists who are going to make sustainability work – it’s everybody else. Specialists will push things forward, but everyone else will make the change work.

Sustainable design and flexibility doesn’t have to cost more – there are a range of small solutions appropriate to your design.

Challenge the client on requirements.

Get involved in the process much earlier on and engage with the supply chain as early as possible to find out their limitations and what they can deliver.

Involve the design team from first sketch to the end of construction, not just sketch to tender.

Consider the whole life cycle/cost of temporary venues; the construction cost might be high but there will be no ongoing cost or burden for operating, maintaining, etc. in the years to follow.

Key sustainability lessons learned Setting benchmarks of health,

safety, security, quality, and inclusion and committing to achieving the benchmarks can change people’s opinion of sustainability.

Much reporting on sustainability focuses on what can be counted, but not everything that has an economic and environmental impact can be quantified. Creating buildings with longevity that will be well-used in legacy was a key sustainable outcome.

Keep up-to-date with modelling techniques and methods of analysis in order to find the areas for maximum energy savings and deliver good sustainable design.

Collaborating with other contractors on projects and clarity of goals enhances community engagement.

Transparency about sustainability efforts and continuous measuring of performance are essential for leaving legacies for future builds.

Make sustainability simple – translate high level objectives into work package specifics in order to engender ownership of sustainability.
